A boy went back to Napoli

because he missed the scenery

The native dances and the charming songs

 But wait a minute something's wrong, 'cause now it's

Hey mambo, mambo Italiano

 hey hey mambo, mambo Italiano

Go go go you mixed up Siciliano

All you Calabrese do the mambo like-a crazy with the

Hey mambo don't wanna tarantella

Hey mambo no more mozzarella

Hey mambo mambo Italiano

try an enchilada with a fish baccala

Hey goomba I love how you dance the rumba

 But take some advice paisano learn-a how to mambo

If you're gonna be a square you ain't-a gonna go anywhere

Hey mambo mambo Italiano

hey hey mambo mambo Italiano

Go go Joe shake it like a Giovanno

E lo che se dice you get happy in the pizza when you

Mambo Italiano

Hey chadrool you don't-a have to go to the school

Just make it with a big bambino it's like vino

Kid you good-a looking but you don't-a know what's cooking 'til you

Hey mambo mambo Italiano

Hey hey mambo mambo Italiano

Ho ho ho you mixed up Siciliano

E lo che se dice you get happy in the pizza when you

Mambo Italiano
